From Bali to the World: FEB Unud and SUSS Collaborate to Drive Real Action for a Sustainable Balinese Economy

FEB Unud Students Reaffirm Their Global Presence Through an Inspiring Collaboration with Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) in the International Immersion Program Titled BRIDGE: Building Resilience and Innovation for Development of Green Ecosystems.

Students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University (FEB Unud), have once again affirmed their presence on the global stage through an inspiring collaboration with the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) in an international immersion program titled BRIDGE: Building Resilience and Innovation for Development of Green Ecosystems. This program is part of SUSS’s Experiential Learning initiative, designed to provide cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, and action-oriented learning experiences.

In his opening remarks, Prof. Agoes Ganesha Rahyuda, S.E., M.T., Ph.D., Dean of FEB Unud, emphasized that the initiative reflects the spirit of global collaboration and provides a valuable platform for student leadership development in addressing global challenges through interdisciplinary approaches and sustainability values. Participating students are not only learning in classrooms but are also directly engaged with local communities through International Community Service (PKM Internasional). These activities allow students to observe, discuss, and contribute meaningfully to pressing issues such as waste management, marine ecosystem conservation, and the dynamics of sustainable tourism in Bali.

Meanwhile, I Gede Nandya Oktora, S.E., M.B.A., CRA., CRP., Coordinator of the Information and Cooperation Management Unit (UPIKS) and Program PIC, stated that this initiative is part of FEB Unud’s concrete efforts toward internationalization. It empowers students to become key actors in building meaningful and impactful global networks.

From classrooms to communities, from academic discussions to hands-on actions, BRIDGE is more than just a program it is a collaborative movement that brings together the spirit of youth across nations to co-create a more inclusive, empowered, and sustainable world.
